59
Q

A

Inhibitor

60
Q

A type of inhibitor that physically binds to the active site of an enzyme and compete with the substrate for the active site.

A

Competitive inhibitor

61
Q

In competitive inhibition, the inhibition is reversible when the inhibitor is (greater/less than) the substrate. Explain.

A

Less than. The inhibition is reversible because the substrate is more likely than the inhibitor to bind to the active site.

62
Q

Inhibition wherein the inhibitor binds to the ES complex

A

Uncompetitive inhibition

63
Q

An inhibitor that binds an enzyme at a place other than the active site and may be reversible in that some naturally present metabolic substances combine reversibly with certain enzymes

A

Noncompetitive inhibitor

64
Q

Explain why noncompetitive inhibtion may be irreversible and why increasing substrate concentration will not reverse the inhibition.

A

Noncompetitve inhibition may be irreversible when the inhibitor destroys part of the enzymes involved in catalytic activity. Increasing substrate concentration will not reverse the inhibition because the inhibitor binds directly to the enzyme.

Q

Km stands for

A

Michaelis-Menten constant

66
Q

It is an expression of the relationship between the velocity of an enzymatic reaction and substrate concentration

A

Km

70
Q

In Uncompetitive inhibition, Km (increased/decreased/was unchanged)

A

Decreased

71
Q

This type of inhibition can be counteracted by adding excess substrate to bind the enzyme.

A

Competitive inhibition. Reaction will proceed at a slower rate but to the same maximum velocity (Vmax) as an uninhibited reaction.

72
Q

In this type of inhibition, maximum velocity cannot be achieved.

A

Noncompetitive inhibition

73
Q
